Building more market-rate housing & waiting for affordability to “filter” down isn’t a housing strategy for most people.

We don’t have to wait decades for the market to deliver. We can build permanently affordable, publicly accountable now.

Cambridge added 645 net new housing units in 2025, far outpacing our neighboring communities. But housing growth alone isn’t enough. We need development that prioritizes real affordability, preservation, and protects our neighborhoods from displacement.

Louise Venden has a great Op Ed up on Cambridge Somerville Independent: "Go Fast, Break Things: Cambridge Did It with How it Builds Housing."

Cambridge’s City Council will soon consider amendments to a Multifamily Housing Zoning ordinance and needs real answers to questions about its impact.
